Mack and Mike Hunter (the pseudo physicist), would have you believe that small cars are from the devil and kill everyone in them.
-If you add Large cars and SUV's together. The death totals are more than those in small cars. Large cars and SUV's are a separate class in statistics but should go together for all intents and purposes.
Driver Deaths Per Million:
-Small Cars: 108
-Midsizecars: 70
-Large Cars and SUV's: 137 Source: Insurance Institute for Highway Safety
-Take into account, most small cars are driven by college students who are young and not use to driving. That accounts for many deaths in small cars.
-Mind you that does not take into effect the Smart car which is a steal cage, would mostly be driven in large cities where the MPH barely reaches high speeds, and has a 4 star safety rating for front and side impact.
-Just trying to demystify the ridiculous idea that smaller is more dangerous and teach the apologist for large gas guzzling vehicles a thing or two.
